schrodinger's vinyl

A vinyl record that has remained unopened or unplayed for an extended period, leaving its actual condition unknown. The record could be pristine, warped, scratched, or otherwise damaged, but the owner avoids opening it out of fear of discovering its true state—preferring to exist in blissful ignorance.
I still haven’t checked out that rare LP I bought in 2015—total schrodinger's vinyl situation over here.

Every collector has at least one schrodinger's vinyl on their shelf, too scared to find out if it survived years in the attic.

That sealed album is schrodinger’s vinyl; it’s both mint and ruined until you crack it open.

Vinyl Scratch

The pretty rave mare seen in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic who has 2 different color blue spiky mane and tail with the white coat, music cutie mark and signature alien like sunglasses who entertains all of Equestria with her Disc Jockeying.

She had a litter of 5 foals with Prince Little Money or L Money that naive young royal Stallion who simped over her but knocked her up with 5 little DJ's because they did drugs to get high & fuck together frequently doing lots of hot, sloppy, unprotected sex.
Vinyl Scratch must've been SO SORE after pushing out those 5 little foal bumps in the hospital, I heard she really slapped L Money hard after she was discharged... I saw him with a big black eye when they had the quintuplets at the park...

Melting Vinyl

Spinning a record for such an extended period of time that the friction from the needle melts the records face off. face. off.
I just got a righteous deal on Steppenwolf and the Woodstock 3-disc set from a flea market. Time to melt the shit out of some vinyl!!

Vinyl Dinosaur

Vinyl Dinosaur. Usually music collectors or DJ's that frown upon other people that did follow format evolution into the modern era. Highly protective of their falsely perceived credibility of owning that one illustrious copy of a record most folk are really not arsed about because nobody ever heard anyway because some obscure vinyl only label from the North East of England only pressed ten lacquers to "keep things underground". Vinyl dinosaurs are not willing to share music, titles, artists or any info out of fear of losing their credibility. The biggest threat to a VD and something which can cause immediate outrage is a repress. Don't be anywhere near a vinyl dinosaur as there will potentially be blood due to exploding heads and hurt egos.
Look at that vinyl dinosaur doing his back in with his two crates of records.

The vinyl dinosaur was hugely offended when asked if he owned CDJ's.

Vinyls

A word that doesn't exist, often mistakenly used to refer to vinyl records. The plural form of "vinyl" is just "vinyl".
Q: By the way, do you own any vinyls?
A: I have a few records.

vinyl player

21st century term used by hipsters and Prime Ministers meaning record-player or turntable. For reasons known only to themselves, vinyls is the word used by hipsters when what they mean to say is records.
I've set up a vinyl player at the Lodge and that is a good thing. I have one there and it's added ambience at the Lodge. And the good news is that you're at a little bit of a distance from the neighbours. So when appropriate, you can turn it up loud. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on ABC Radio, August 2022
